Supporting the Military Community

One in five people in the United States has a diagnosable mental health condition.1

Did you know that one in five active-duty service members experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress, depression, or other mental health challenges?2 The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) produced four public service announcements (PSAs) as part of a co-sponsorship agreement with Give an Hour for the Campaign to Change Direction. The PSAs are designed to:

Promote public education and awareness about mental health

Educate our communities about the Five Signs of emotional suffering

Identify resources so that those in need can access help

Encourage compassion and support for individuals with mental health challenges
